What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Which one are you going to? Roebling is my home track (with Florida Crown) and I go there 4-5 times a year. If you are going to the Coastal event December 2-3 I don't think I am going to be able to make that one though...

Yes I was going to try and go to that one- I live in Bluffton SC so right around the corner! about 20 miles away.
I was going to take the 914, but its going in for a repaint, - I just need new shocks on the boxster before Dec- it will be my first DE:dance:

Today I decided to go out and try one of those headlight restoration kits on my Boxster. Im really happy with the results and for $30 you cant beat it. Id love to get a set of clear headlights but new ones arent cheap.

So if my pictures work

So hopefully these worked, I was thinking about getting the yellow Lamin-X to protect them and kind of take away from the amber section. I like the look on some cars but don't know how it would look on this car, I think the Silver does help. What are your thoughts?

300-mile round trip in the afternoon to pick up a hardtop, on the way back home my car passed 80K miles! Running great, hardtop makes it feel like in a different car, so quiet that I hit triple-digit a few times! Shopping for a set of snow tires, then ready for winter!

Pulled the radio last night and cleaned the [tune] knob with electronics cleaner. It had a pot/encoder acting up (going forward when turning backward), and so far so good.

I wholeheartedly approve of that. You've got a good eye for color combos.

Dug out the snows from the back of my shop. While cleaning them a stick on balance weight fell off. The po had painted them and now their flaking on the inside. So off to the tire store today.

I think I have the same problem on the volume knob. Very slow reaction to a turn of the knob, and even decreases volume level when turning up. I chalked it up to the not so great Becker CDR230. Will have to try your method.

I was cleaning up a Becker 1692 for my Mercedes (which had the same issue on the volume knob) when I decided to pull the 6612 from the Box and try my hand at it. I do intend to pull it out again to treat the encoder with Deoxit Gold to keep the internals protected.

I have the Deoxit on hand, so should be easy job. Thanks!

Of course, the stereo is a secondary concern in a car like the Box. I just am annoyed when things don’t function as they should.

I have this problem, too! Very aggravating when the volume level and radio station go the opposite direction as intended.

Can I get more details please on how this fix is performed? What product needs to be sprayed on the knob encoder, and where specifically should it be applied? Is radio removal beforehand recommended, and to what extent does the radio need to be disassembled? Would you consider writing a DIY for it?

Took the bae in for an oil change, we hit 100k right when i got there.

Purchased Service Manual (Bentleys) I have to say, unless you are tearing down the engine, the service manual is not necessary; You Tube and this Forum covers pretty much in detail any support you need to conduct periodic and regular maintenance.
